Quentin Tarantino is notoriously known for his unquestionable taste in memorable movie soundtracks and while it may not be equally yoked to the wonder and awe that was Pulp Fiction, by its own right, the soundtrack if damn good.

The bittersweet adventures of relishing in obscure 1970 one-hit wonders may make the ears of some listeners curl, but this sound track makes you want to take a cruise and at every red light, open the door and bend seductively into the road, winking at passer-bys until one crosses your path that you might just want to take home. Did I say that it seems a bit raunchy? Well memorable soundtracks go with memorable scenes and if Vanessa Ferlito lap dancing to The Coaster’s Down in Mexico isn’t raunchy, stop reading.

Vintage music buffs beware, this soundtrack references everything from 1970’s drive-in theater to Italian B-movie toppers, British Glam and American Pop. My personal favorite is the transitional use of April March’s Chick Habit, a bouncy fluff song from the singer/songwriter that once worked for cartoon sensations, Ren & Stimpy.

For all of the leg work done to promote the Grindhouse features in the U.S., the movies flopped a bit. But for what they lacked in content, they made up for entirely in artistic value and exploited style. Some other groups that made Tarantino’s hit list include: Jack Nitzche, Ennio Morricone, T.Rex, Joe Tex, and Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
